[Q] SuperOneClick for the Htc Inspire 4G

I am new to this website, I wish to root my Htc Inspire 4g. I've heard of using SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.zip... would that work when My Android is running Froyo?

nope, use the guide that is stickied at the top of general as your reference.

But, it's very hard to understand that guide... (once again sorry for my noobish comments) Please explain it to me?

Both rooting methods are extremely watered down have you tried downloading either of them?
I am not trying to be rude, but if it is hard to understand, then I would recommend reading more before you root.

If you're unwilling to read, learn, read some more, research, read even more and try, then don't do it.

Not trying to pile on, but... Seriously?
There's nothing difficult about the guide. The rooting techniques have been simplified as much as possible, for this phone.
Customizing this phone is going to require a little bit of effort on your part, it's not going to root itself.

So I just select one guide from the rooting thread from mudknof*
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

yeah I know how you feel about rooting O/P but I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406 also androidcentral.com is another good site too if you have not been their already.
Also I would look into how to un-root the htc inspire just in case if you want to go back.
I had to watch the video a couple of times but it was not to bad but I do recommend this make sure your updated I know I had to do a wifi update then your good.
But if you have your phone all set up root will rest your phone all over again contacts will be their just if you added or did anything to it. It sucks it took me like 30 mins to set everything back up lol

Ok, I understand rooting gives you access and you have to downgrade your phone for rooting and then get a custom rom to pyt to a rooted current or future version. Am I right?

Well from what I read on roms, roms will give you customs look and some better features I have not added and Roms yet really just wanted to remove bloatware Im still reading about Roms and how to install them...Also I was just reading through the steps about rooting I think by far bubbys root is the easiest way to root.
lol I ask a lot of ?s ha http://forum.androidcentral.com/inspire-rooting-roms-hacks/88094-rom-t-stock-rom-sense-unroot.html
just in case you need it.. Cause I did root back to stock..which now Im thinking about rooting today.. Just cause I dont like the bloatware but which is nice about root it gives unknown sources thats if you DL and app rather then the market place right now I use Side Load Wonder Machine its a pain to go through the pc but unknown allows you to DL 3rd party off a site. but other then having bloatware removed and having unknown sources thats all I did for rooting. Helpful hint is also looking into how to make a back up of your phone just in case something messes up.

Thank you so much for your support everyone... so one final question... what is bloatware?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

bloatware is all the pre install apps and like the blockbuster ATT nav, yelp etc. even though this is for droidX it works the same just copy and past this -----> Droid X Bloatware Removal How To Android 2.2 FroYo <-------- in youtube and its the 1st, or you can use titanium backup Pro to freeze the bloatware which makes the OS of the phone think its not their anymore and you can unfreeze it later if you need it.. over all its to save some memory on the phone..

So how do i save all memory to my sd card before rooting?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

what do you mean memory? like in apps,pics? their is an app called app2Sd in the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
that may help also heads up if you root you can do a back up with titanium back up and it restore your apps on that half Im not a 100% sure just google it one of the things I miss from my iphone is the itunes for backing up my apps.Still have not found a program thats like itunes for backing up apps fully and add them back if needed.
to bad you can just drag your apps to your Pc and save.. =(

But what will move my pictures and music to the sd card?

They should already be there. The phone stores that kind of stuff on the SD card, because internal storage is limited.

Ok, and one more question... Where do I find the rooting program for the htc inspire? Can someone please post a link?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

for moving the pic and music I would just move it to your PC and when your doing rooting just transfer them back.
Im about to root my phone again in like 15mins Im using this again

Virtuos unity

Why virtuos unity is not yet supported in rom manager?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

Ok guys... It's getting a bit messy in here... Why don't You ask this question in Virtuos Unity Rom thread? I dig this whole friendly atmosphere and stuff, but c'mon... This section needs some more agressive moderation.

You are better off updating using your computer anyway, less chance for anything to go wrong.

Yeah... I have noticed the last few days people are posting in the wrong sections! Come on guys!

Why is everyone so quick to flame without actually realising the situation
When he wrote the post, he had less than 10 posts, meaning he CAN'T write in the main thread in the Dev forum. So what he did was the RIGHT THING.

Q: Unlocking and rooting with Mac comp help!

Hey guy's I'm new to the forum and was wondering if there is any easy ways to unlock, root and install clockwork recovery using a mac computer? Everything I find online is for using a windows pc. I'm currently using snow leopard is and updated my sensation to ICS. Please help with info not negative feedback! I know I'm a noob, I have no shame in that. Thanx.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app

Hi welcome, I've also done a search on rooting with mac and found many questions with few answers as you know.it might even be easier if no one has any clear answers for you to borrow a friend's windows computer and to root that way . It won't take that long and will be a whole lot easier for you. I'm truly sorry I don't have a clear answer but I wanted to offer this solution. If it were me, this is what I would do. I wish you the best and if you don't find a definite answer, this could be a option for you. Good luck. Keep us posted on what you decide to do.

Quick Questions

Hello everyone ive been jailbreaking iPhones for quite some time but im pretty new to Android and rooting.
I got an HTC Acquire and saw in a website that i could root it with the HTC Quick Root that this tool can root any htc phone.
But when I get to the thread it says something about s-on and s-off or something along those lines.
Can someone please explain what this is and tell me how to verify that in my phone?
And if i root will i lose everything i have installed?
Thabks in advance
Sent from my HTC Acquire using xda app-developers app

What website was this? You should really try to use root methods that are developed here on XDA. Just search for your phone in the search, and read through the forums there (although I'm not seeing one for the Acquire). Android Police sometimes has root methods, too.
If you root, you shouldn't lose all of your data, as long as you follow the instructions to the letter. Still, it's a good idea to back up whatever data you can (contacts, pictures, music, etc.) just to be on the safe side.
The transition from jailbreaking iOS to rooting Android can be quite confusing. As an iPod touch owner, I feel your pain. Just take the time to read through everything. Then take the time to reread it again.
I hoped I helped. Welcome to the world of Android!

s-on and s-off is related to the bootloader on your phone. i'd suggest you go to any of the htc threads plus others here on xda and you can get info about everything like rooting,bootloader,flashing custom roms,recovery etc

Is that kind of info tje same for every htc or u mean asking in one of those threads

The terms "rooting," "bootloader," and "flashing" are all related to pretty much any Android device. Rooting is the same as jail breaking - it gives you superuser permissions to your phone's filesystem - but every device has a different method to obtain root (or so I'm told). The bootloader - I think - has something to do with booting up the Android filesystem (but don't quote me on it). Flashing is a way to install tweaks, apps, and themes to your device through a custom recovery, all while the device's file-system still isn't completely activated (kind of like restarting the SpringBoard on an iPhone after changing a theme or installing a tweak from Cydia). Try Googling these terms, that's how I got started.
The thread you mentioned said something about having an unlocked bootloader. You may want to look into that before you try rooting.
I just got off of ten straight hours of work, so I hope this made some kind of sense
